And You Thought Bruce Leroy Was Fiction!!!

According to scientists, the human body emits light at low levels. Essentially we GLOW!!!!

The human body literally glows, emitting a visible light in extremely small quantities at levels that rise and fall with the day, scientists now reveal.

Past research has shown that the body emits visible light, 1,000 times less intense than the levels to which our naked eyes are sensitive. In fact, virtually all living creatures emit very weak light, which is thought to be a byproduct of biochemical reactions involving free radicals.

. . .Faces glowed more than the rest of the body. This might be because faces are more tanned than the rest of the body, since they get more exposure to sunlight – the pigment behind skin color, melanin, has fluorescent components that could enhance the body’s minuscule light production. SOURCE

Who knew that Bruce Leroy was just ahead of his time, searching for the glow in Harlem.
